2) How Many Roads?: Embracing the True Nature of Change! (Featured Article)
By Charlene M Brown
Do remember that song: “How many roads must a man walk down, before you can call him a man? . . . . . The answer, my friend, is blowing in the wind, the answer is blowing in the wind.” It’s actually a Bob Dylan song, although depending on your age, you may remember it from Forrest Gump (Jenny is half dressed, singing it on stage), and on that soundtrack, it is sung by Joan Baez (okay, so you caught me: I have this kind of information for probably 1000 or more songs in my head—what can I say—I LOVE music!) (Okay, Okay, I digress and had to listen to the song as I write this for additional inspiration.)
Or maybe you’ve heard the quote: “The only constant in life is Change!” (no one seems to be sure exactly who said it!)
But both of these allude to the same thing, that there are so many things in life we have no control over.
Nature is a powerful reminder and a good example of change, even in the very wind itself!
He (I usually make things male or female, depending on what they “feel” like to me, wind is definitely male) can come in, whip things around a bit and leave, in the span of a few minutes. But when he goes, nothing is as it was; everything has changed!
And so it goes with life in general!
One of my favorite parables states: “The reed that bends in the wind is stronger than the tree that breaks.”
In this case, the bending reed is you, embracing change. And the breaking tree is you when you resist changing!
Isn’t it much better to embrace the change and move on than to resist to the point where you break.
There’s tons of literature on this, including the mega (though tiny) book, Who Moved My Cheese!
If you’ve never read this cute little story, it is a must! It runs about $20, but is it a small investment for a big lesson: You have to move with the cheese! And the “cheese” is constantly moving (changing).
Remaining stuck does you no good if you are broken like the tree. Being flexible as things change is a must, if you are to be successful in anything you do!
I see this everyday in my daily life! I have to be bendy-flexy sometimes and move with the tide! Following my plan is great, but not if it doesn’t allow me to grow and continue to meet the demand!
What good will some great E-book or article do me if no one sees it!?
And just look at technology! The advent and popularization of the internet changed EVERYTHING! And those who have profited most are those who are on the forefront of change! They see the wave coming and hop on their surfboards, ready to ride it out when it hits!
And so must we release the resistance and go with the flow. The flow is gonna go whether you’re with it or not! You can’t stop the wave from washing ashore!
We never know what split second is going to change our lives forever. Instead of fearing and resisting it, try changing your direction and moving with it instead of against it.
“Sometimes we have to turn around to see a different perspective!” ~Charlene M Brown (hey, that’s me! J )
